Pocono Mountains – Cove Haven Resort

Tracy Morgan has not only picked up the pieces, but has firmly glued the pieces back together in his new comeback comedy tour Picking Up the Pieces. In 2014, Tracy was severely injured when a tractor-trailer rammed into the back of the limo bus he was traveling in, overturning the vehicle and killing one of his comedy writers, James McNair. Two other members of his team were also severely injured. The accident left him in a coma and fighting to recover. Mr. Morgan is back, using his near death experience as part of his comedy routine. He adeptly weaves his many difficult life moments into a comedic adventure sharing the many challenges he had to overcome from childhood until now.
